Queer Signs in English Shops.

There are all sorts of queer signs and
placards in English shops, and the under
standing of many Of them is thing be-
yond Yankee comprehension. What is an
American child going to select in British
confectioner's from the candies placarded
ssDingees,' "Fondants," 'Aboukirs, -
t'Pralines' and ''Waterloo Jambs?" The
candies themselves are none too inviting
to those familiar with American and
French dainties. A favorite method here
is to sell them in little bottles, all pre-
pared and suggestive of drug store cough
drops and Group dabs. One universal adj
junct of the grocer's shopis basket filed
with hen triumphs and labeled: "New
laid eggs" These are seen in the hearts
of the biggest cities, and the 'snew laid
eggs' are invariably covered with dust.
An agreeable sign on some houses in
nearly every street is that of Mr. So-and-
SO, surgeon, often accompanied by another
pointing to the basement, showing the
road "to the surgery" The ordinary
Englishman must needs stand a deal Of
cutting up to furnish a livelihood for all
these gentlemen, and it is gratifying to
know that Mrs. So-and-so means to keep
her best room tidy, and not have people
laundering in expecting to have their legs
sawed off in the parlor.-London Cor.
Chicago Tribune.

Killing Rats by Strategy.

''To attempt to catch rats by traps or
by poisoning them suddenly will fail,
said an old rat catcher recently to re-
porter. "Old rats know too much and
can be caught only by kindness. To de-
stroy them give them good meal every
day. Do not put any poison in the food,
but simply prepare dish for them daily,
as free lunch, composed of corn meal
moistened with milk, into which one egg
with salt to season has been beaten. At
first they may not touch it, but keep it
before them, making it fresh every day.
They will soon try little, and if not In
furious their suspicious will be allayed.
In week or ten days they will expect it
and every rat on the place will be at the
appointed spot for the treat. Give plenty
Of it SO as to induce all the rats in the
ueighborhood to Join in. Do not be In a
hurry to poison Them. If they eat all the
food give them larger portion next time.
AS soon as they have thrown off all sus-
picion get some phosphorus paste or other
rat poison, mix it with the food and be
sure to give them enough and something
to spare, SO as to induce all to eat. They
will either be killed or become so suspi-
cious of all food that not rat will remain. f"

Physiology of Forgetfu1ness.


Forgetfulness as to events occurring in
the first two or three years of life is not
unnatural The brain has not become
thoroughly organized, its cells have not
formed their numerous connections which
are necessary before association of ideas is
possible, and the vast multitude of SEN
sations crowding together upon the i'm
perfect brain cannot be separated one
from another and each make it's proper
strong impression, all of which must take
place if memory is to result. After a
while the cells become slowly united into
groups tscenters'1, and these establish
connections between themselves, ever be-
coming more and more extensive, and
memories of the organized form arise and
recollection becomes possible.
In extreme old age the nerve cells lose
more and more their ability to take on new
impressions, the heart acts with less force,
nutrition gradually fails, and forgetfulness
becomes more and more marked. The
later impressions having made the slight
est change in the cells are soonest forgot
ten, while those made in earlier years,
when the processes of growth and nutri-
ton were most active, remain the longest.
Old Falstaff, dying, ''babbled of green
felds,' and the aged not infrequently re-
member nothing but the scenes of child
hood and early youth-an else has faded
away forever. During profound sleep, if
ideas arise in the mind they are not suf'
ficiently strong to make any lasting i'm
preston upon the brain cells-they are
not registered. In dreaming portion Of
the brain is active, while the rest is qui-
escent, but the disturbance of conscious
ness is SO slight that a large proportion of
dreams are not remembered even on first
waking. It frequently happens that
dream is remembered when one awakes in
has vanished, and no means can be de-
vised to compel recollection

Pennsylvania Dutch Mothers.

With the good mothers of these girls
are innumerable homely notions and SUI
perstitions, coloring, easing or hardening
the duties of every day drudgery, among
which are few of interest applying to
their little ones, such as that no articles
are lent out of the home until the new
born child is baptized; that the babe must
not be permitted to see its face in the glass
until it is year old; and that they will
never allow their babes to be measured for
any purpose, though they may be weighed,
because when the former occurs the coffin
will surely soon come. Then, again, the salt
must never be spilled without throwing
pinch over the left shoulder; the sugar
must always be put in tea before the milk;
a falling leaf must always be caught if
possible; the dust must never be swept
from the floor out of the house; one must
never sing before breakfast; nor enter a
house with the left foot foremost; nor eat
pancakes with gray peas; nor wash hands
in the same basin with another; nor lend
pin; nor watch a parting guest out of
sight; nor, above all things, fail to cry,
ssGesundheitI' when another sneezes.-
Edgar L. Wakeman's Letter.
